All,
I'm working on a patch to add some new codec IDs to patch_nvhdmi.c. I notice that many lines in that table are wrapped to avoid long lines. Is there a hard 80 column limit for ALSA driver or kernel files? I'd find the table and diff much easier to read if I could simply put each new entry on a single line, but don't want to violate any hard-and-fast coding style rules...
Second, I wish to add entries for some GPUs that haven't yet been released. For these, I'd like to make the codec names simply "GPU HDMI/DP", since I can't expose naming for unreleased products. We'd like to get these entries into the driver early so that they're available in distros before products ship, so that the hardware "just works" out of the box. Indications so far are that these devices will simply be standard Azalia codecs, and hence not need any code/tables/quirks to operate correctly (i.e. they'll follow the existing "MCP89" path).
Finally, the naming for existing discrete GPU entries (GT220/GT21x/GT240) is a mixture of engineering GPU names and marketing names. I'd like to edit these names to also be simply "GPU HDMI/DP" for consistency. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to submit engineering GPU names for any GPUs, and using marketing names in these entries doesn't make sense, since there may be multiple marketing names per codec ID, and the marketing names many change over time.
Does anyone have any problems with any of the above before I submit a proposed patch?
Thanks.
